I do feel like 3 layers of tools is the ideal thickness for a Victorinox (plastic covers, not alox), which makes me have to choose between a saw and scissors and that's a tough one to do.by luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives
A couple of months back I was in an online shopping kick because I was stuck inside with Covid and couldn't go catch some air and think about saving money instead, and having watched some videos about a cheaper version of the expensive Kansept Reverie coming out, I decided to get myself one. The version I have is the one with the purple G-10, 154CM steel blade and black coated blade. Speby luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives
So Luong La, which many of you will recognise as a member of Cliff's forum (not sure if he's made an account here) just posted this video experiment on wear resistance of his M2 Superquenched knife. I'm curious, do y'all think this is a suitable home replacement for something like a CATRA machine? It seems to me like that's mostly the sort of testing he's replicatingby luisknivacc - General
Now that's a knife you can hand to pretty much anyone and the only thing you worry about getting damaged is themselves lol.by luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives
I'm glad we seem to be mostly over the days of 35 thou thick blades, although it is a little unfortunate that Spyderco in general doesn't seem to want to go below 15 on anything if they can help it. Still, looks like a great knife.by luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives

I'm going to come in with what I imagine will be a trend of dissenting takes here, and say that Youtube doesn't really care at all about shutting down dissenting voices, Youtube loves controversy and dissent because it gets people engaging with the platform as they hate-watch someone they hate or listen to their favourite echo, and a lot of people seemingly don't understand that thby luisknivacc - Computers and Tech
Ah the good ol' knife aficionado's bald arm. I've had similar experiences with Kershaw's 8cr13MoV, it sharpens very easily but man is it prone to rusting.by luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives
I find that knife blades only tend to look pretty for any long amount of time if you're not using them much, or just in very selective/restricted ways (for example, a stainless kitchen knife won't show too much wear), in a world where I can only have one or the other I'm more impressed when a knife can cut well than when it has an even satin grind.by luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives
Yeah I wanted to try one of the Kershaw Emerson's for a while but I never pulled the trigger on it because I would always send them out for a regrind first, before anything else. Same for the Real Steel Mini Metamorph.by luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives
Had a professor who was the Child Porn expert once, and by that I mean she was the expert the police turned over evidence to in order to determine whether or not it was indeed Child Porn, and that meant sometimes she had to look at thousands of images of it a day. This update is concerning for reasons of security and all, but honestly at some point a human is going to be involved and I hope theirby luisknivacc - Computers and Tech
That's nice to know, one of my concerns with it was that I'd have to fuss everytime I pulled the blade out of the pocket and didn't want the wave action. I hear you on black blades though, good way to get people to freak out, I've been EDCing a Civivi Ortis the past couple months with a blackwash blade and that gets the sideye when people notice.by luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives
How're you liking the wave? Think Kershaw made a good decision with going for a frame-lock with this instead of Emerson's preferred liner locks?by luisknivacc - New Knives, and New to You Knives
